So I have been talking Spanish lessons via Skype via iTalki.com. Currently I am working with a young man from Guatemala named Manolo who is the bee’s knees. A few times in the conversation portion of the class we have talked about my wife, Robin.
The other night he was trying to remember my wife’s name so I reminded him. A few minutes later he needed reminding again so I wrote “Robin” in the text portion of Skype. I then told him it was Robin, just like Batman and Robin.
His reply to me in Spanish was, “You’re no Batman.”
Talk about shades of Lloyd Bentsen to Dan Quayle during the Vice-Presidential debates of 1988, “You’re no Jack Kennedy.”
Next he will be telling me, “You can’t handle the truth!”
